INSTRUCTIONS
1. You have opted for English as medium of question. This Test Booklet contains seventy five (20 Part ‘A’
+25 Part ‘B’ +30 Part ‘C’). Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs).
You are required to answer a maximum of 15, 20 and 20 questions from part ‘A’ ‘B’ and ‘C’
respectively. If more than required number of questions are answered, only first 15, 20, 20 questions in
Part ‘A’ ‘B’ and ‘C’ respectively, will be taken up for evaluation.
2. OMR answer sheet has been provided separately. Before you start filling up your particulars, please
ensure that the booklet contains requisite number of pages and that these are not torn or mutilated. If it is
so, you may request the invigilator to change the booklet of the same code. Likewise check the OMR
answer sheet also, Sheets for rough work have been appended to the test booklet.
3. Write your Roll No, Name and Serial Number of this Test Booklet on the OMR Answer sheet in the
space provided. Also put your signatures in the space earn marked.
4. You must darken the appropriate circles with a black ball pen related to Roll Number, Subject
Code, Booklet Code and Centre Code on the OMR answer sheet. It is the sole responsibility of the
candidate to meticulously follow the instructions given on the answer sheet, failing which, the
computer shall not be able to decipher the correct detail which may ultimately result in loss,
including rejection of the OMR answer sheet.
5. Each question in Part ‘A’ carries 2 marks, Part ‘B’ 3.5 marks, Part ‘C’ 5 marks respectively. There will be
negative marking @ 25% (Part ‘A’ 0.50 marks, Part ‘B’ 0.875 marks and Part ‘C’ 1.25 marks) for each
wrong answer.
6. Below each question in Part ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ four alternative or responses are given. Only one of these
alternatives is the “correct” option to the question. You have to find for each question, the correct or the
best answer.
7. Candidate found copying or resorting to any unfair means are liable to be disqualified rough work.
8. Candidate should not write anything anywhere except on answer sheet of sheet for rough work.
9. Use of calculator is not permitted.
10. After the test is over, at the perforation point, tear the OMR answer sheet, hand over the original
OMR answer sheet to the Invigator and retain the carbonless copy for your record.
11. Candidates who sit for the entire duration of the exam will only be permitted to carry their Test Booklet.
